A novel one-step synthesis of 4-arylazo-1H-1, 3, 5-trimethylpyrazoles is accomplished by reaction of N, N-dimethylhydrazine with 2, 3, 4-pentantrione-3-arylhydrazones via an unusual demethylation.

One of the key steps in the synthesis of ABT-431 is the diastereoselective cyclization of thieny alcohol 1 to trans amide 2. We report a detailed study of the influence of acids, solvents and temperature over the ratio of cis and trans diastereomers.     

Determination of Thallium in Soil

Abstract

A new spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of thallium in soil by extraction of Tl(III) with a toluene solution of N,N′-diphenylbenzamidine after acidification with 0.2–4.0 M HCl, and reaction of the extract with Crystal violet in the presence of 0.01–0.8 M HCl. The value of molar absorptivity of Tl(III)-X-CV complex (where X = Cl or Br; CV = Crystal violet) in toluene is 7.00 × 10⁴ 1 mole^?1 cm^?1 at the absorption maximum of 610 nm. The detection limit of the method is 20 ng ml^?1. The present method is free from interference of almost metal ions commonly associated with Tl. The method has been applied for analysis of the metal to soils.     

Morphology of solution crystallized trans-1,4-polyisoprene

The film formation method has been successfully used to grow single crystals and other complex morphological features of low melting form (LMF) and high melting form (HMF) of trans-1,4-polyisoprene (TPIP). Below 40 °C dilute amyl acetate solution gave hexagonal shaped LMF crystals. Thick and elongated hexagonal shaped morphology was shown by HMF crystals at temperatures above 40 °C. Straight faces and sharp corners of the single crystals, and also of complex crystals, acquired round shapes when highly polydispersed TPIP was used for crystallization.     

Organocatalyzed Double C(sp3)−H Alkylation of Cyclic N-Sulfonyl Ketimines with 3-Chloropropiophenones: Selective Access to 2,3,6-Trisubstituted Pyridines

An efficient sequential one-pot, two-step pseudo-four-component reaction between 3/4-methyl N-sulfonyl ketimines with 3-chloropropiophenones triggered by DIPEA/NaHCO₃ as a cooperative base and subsequent aza-cyclization using NH₄OAc is reported. This transition-metal-oxidant-free technique concocts new C−C/C=C/C=N−C bonds selectively, guaranteeing acceptable yields of 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines possessing ortho-hydroxyaryl/benzenesulfonamide and propiophenone moieties at C2 and C3 positions, respectively. Interestingly, while replacing methyl-substituents with straight alkyl chains of N-sulfonyl ketimines, only a monoalkylation reaction happened with in situ-generated vinyl ketones to deliver promising yields of 3-picoline derivatives. Moreover, the synthetic transmutation of prepared pyridine derivative led to several important classes of pyridocoumarin, 5H-chromenopyridine, and di(pyridin-3-yl) methane derivatives.     

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of uranium(VI) with PAR and N-octylacetamide

A new and simple method for selective spectrophotometric determination of uranium(VI) with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and N-octylacetamide into benzene over pH 7.0–9.0 is described. The molar absorptivity of the complex with 9 different amides is in the range of (0.40–3.2)·10⁴ 1·mol^–1·cm^–1 at the absorption maximum. Out of these, the most sensitive compound N-octylacetamide (OAA) was chosen for detailed studies in the present investigation. The detection limit of the method is 0.008 g U·ml^–1. The system obeys Beer's law in the range of 0–5 g U·ml^–1. The method is free from interferences of most of the common metal ions except vanadium(V) and copper(II), which are masked by proper masking agents. The composition of the complex is determined by curve-fitting method. The method has been applied for the recovery of the metal from rock samples and synthetic mixtures.     

Reversed-phase ion-pair liquid chromatography of the angiotensins

The isocratic reversed-phase liquid chromatography of the angiotensins and a number of their synthetic analogues is described. Complete separation of 10 out of 12 peptides was achieved through a solvent optimization strategy with a total analysis time of about 20 min. The retention behavior of the angiotensins studied was described in terms of the hydrophobic contribution of their amino acid residues; there was good correlation between predicted and experimental retention for those peptides that were retained by a common mechanism. However, because ion-pair chromatography was required for good peak symmetry, retention was substantially modulated by the presence of acidic and basic residues. The limit of detection of these peptides was 3-5 pmol by UV absorbance at 214 nm. For those peptides containing a primary amino group the detection limit was improved by two orders of magnitude by fluorogenic derivatization with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde/cyanide to the corresponding N-substituted 1-cyanobenz[f]isoindole (CBI) derivatives. The contribution of the CBI ring system to retention was also investigated.     

Molecular Interactions in 1,4-Dioxane,Tetrahydrofuran, and Ethyl Acetate Solutions of 1,1′-Bis(4-isopropyloxyacetylphenoxy)cyclohexane on Reological,Density, and Acoustic Behavior

Various thermo-acoustical parameters of 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydofuran and ethylacetae solutions of 1,1′-bis(4-isopropyloxyacetylphenoxy)cyclohexane were determined at different temperatures using density, viscosity and ultrasonic speed and correlated with concentration. Linear increase of ultrasonic speed, specific acoustical impedance, Rao’s molar sound function, Van der Waals constant and free volume with concentration C and decreased with temperature. Linear decrease of adiabatic compressibility, internal pressure, intermolecular free path length, classical absorption coefficient, and viscous relaxation time with concentration and increased with temperature indicated existence of strong molecular interactions in solutions and further supported by positive values of solvation number. Gibbs free energy of activation decreased with C in all three systems. It is decreased with T in 1,4-dioxane, while increased in tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate. Both enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation are increased gradually with C in 1,4-dioxane, while they are negative and remained practically independent of concentration in 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydofuran systems.     

Exchange reactions of copper complexes with amines

Square planar mixed ligand complexes of the type [CuLL′] where L = 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and L′ = acetoacetanilide, have been synthesized on treatment with ammonia. Amine exchange of the above Schiff base complexes has been carried out on treatment with different amines. The reaction with ethanol amine is quite interesting compared to other amines. It reacts with 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde to form a Schiff base, while the β-diketone part is removed in the complex formation. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral studies, magnetic measurement, TLC, and conductane.
